New Yorkers , get ready to either cough up pedigree or shed your arms up in the air and make jazz hands for joyfulness : cellphone service is hitting aselect several subway place . If you ’re an AT&T or T - Mobile client .
In what might be the last joint action between the two companies before they get their stomach kicked in by the federal government , customers of the two carriers can chat , schoolbook , broadcast e-mail , and all the other fun telephone thing . But , the NYT report , it ’ll be limit to very few point as a trial :
The pilot program will acquaint cellphone reception to the C - Es platform at 23rd Street and Eighth Avenue , and three other stations along West 14th Street : the A , C , E and L platform at Eighth Avenue ; the F , M and L platforms at Sixth Avenue ; and the Seventh Avenue post that serve the Nos . 1 , 2 , and 3 lines .
This is nifty news , if you love using your phone everywhere . Or horrifying news , if the idea of people talking in the subway fathom awful . I completely sympathize with the latter inner circle — I mean , flash , objectionable behavior in the New York subway ? ! What ’s next ? string delays ? [ NYT ]
